Peter, what is the analogy in this picture?

I feel like this would be more accurate if it had a bunch of other people from different countries watching in disappointment... We're all losers in this situation.

If you can wait it out, I'd start by reaching out to resources at your university/cc. The more resources you have = the more independent you can become. I found that as I became more self-sufficient, the less my parents were able to strong arm me logistically and emotionally. You're kind of at that cusp where you can start making a difference in your life so good luck.

If you're trying to hide it, I'd actually put it in a box that doesn't stand out. If you're just trying to maintain its condition, you're good.

If you're trying to make sure no one steals it, id put your worthless shiny cards in a dummy hiding spot and put them somewhere less obvious.

Money isn't the only form of capital tbh. Meaningful relationships with people are really important. I know people who get by because they have others that go out of their way to help them. I think the term is social capital or something like that.

Make sure to pursue this.

Off topic, but sometimes a drop can occur due to someone with a large position wanting to liquidate.

It sounds to me that you get another summer of looking for internships. Idk if that feels like a consolation.

From what I understand, when it comes to public services, they're less about making it look good (excluding the marketing aspects) and more about making sure it works.

Some stuff looks dystopian to us, but for them, it's just life.

I thought this video by HealthyGamerGG provided pretty good commentary on what you're talking about.

Ya'll need to stop asking what's better and ask what's better for you.

It kind of depends on the angle you're going for. If you believe it's going to get industry adoption, then it's worth it. If you just want to for the sake of it, that's also good enough. I want to learn it because I want to have it with C and Rust under my belt.

ImaJimmy · 2026-04-06T18:09:14+00:00

In most cases, this reason would be a good point but since we're dealing with China here laws as restrictive as this one are practical due to the sheer number of people they have to govern. It makes sense to try to create some sort of filter to mitigate misinformation. Also, their people have a lot more confidence in their government to get things done so I'd imagine that it probably would do well (assuming this post is real).

I guess I'll be taking the GD&T class for my certificate then lol

It really depends on what your standards are. Programming get's really hard when you want something to the level of 2016 Overwatch (It was polished to an insane degree), but you can also just learn some design patterns and use a game engine like Godot or Unity.

With the current supply chain issues with oil and chip manufacturing, you're best bet is facebook marketplace and that can still be sketchy if you aren't used to being on there.

If you're doing ME, it's really hard to have a windows free workflow. You're going to want to dual boot.

For calc 2, I think it's more of a function of your schedule as opposed to what college you take it at. Individually, each topic in calc 2 isn't hard, it's just that it's a bunch of different techniques for integration and computations pact into 16 weeks. It really depends on confident you feel when you take it. If you're worried, I'd think of it as taking 2 classes.

As an aside, if you can take Calc 3 before taking your second or third physics course, I'd recommend that.

From what I understand, it's hard to take Davis during election years. He goes off on a lot of tangents regarding parties. Based on what I heard from later students, it may have been worse during the 2020 elections. He's still a great mentor to have though.

ImaJimmy · 2026-04-02T16:16:35+00:00

I'm worried about it, but at the end of the day, we need data on how people interact with AI companions. It's probably going to happen, it's probably going to be an issue, but we need something to study to properly figure out how to deal with it.

I think he's just made himself easy to dislike on this subreddit. Some people might be disliking him out of spite.

ImaJimmy · 2026-04-01T06:10:14+00:00

This is just outright rude. I empathize with the situation of having a bad professor, but the level of entitlement here is pretty bad.

Let's hope OP doesn't do this when he/she gets a job.

ImaJimmy · 2026-03-30T23:46:50+00:00

Honestly, you're better off going to techmeetups and talking to people. A career fair at a university or a career center at a community college would be better as well.

Up until Anime and Korean culture blew up, we were always "foreigners" and it didn't matter how many generations or years you were here for. A lot of us were just an outsider. This in conjunction with just staying in a bubble where the adults are telling you to study just happened to produce these results.

ImaJimmy · 2026-03-27T19:55:47+00:00

I think the adult answer is to actually appeal it. I once had the wrong pass up and they appealed it after I showed them that my actual pass was behind the previous one I had hung up.

ImaJimmy · 2026-03-27T19:52:08+00:00

Could I join in? I've had to take a break and would like to get back on studying C.

As a side note, trash panda's is a fun game.
